The Silver Wolf by J. C. Harvey would be a good read for many that like reading this kind of fiction, but it’s not my type of fiction that I love reading about. But the blurb is very inviting with the extraordinarily rich, dark panoramic tale of an orphaned boy’s quest for truth and then for vengeance as war rages across 17th century Europe. There’s a mystery here with Jack Fiskardo who tries to unravel the mystery of his father’s death. And then nail biting tension wondering if his father’s killers will find Jack first.
